1972 to 1973 


REPORTS TO MEMBERS 


President 

As mentioned in last year’s Report, the main display project 
planned for the current year was the installation, with the aid of the 
generous gift of $7,200 for capital costs made in 1971 by Mr 
Charles E. Disney, of our new hall of English furniture. The Hall, 
completed for opening just before Christmas, was named the “Disney 
Hall of English Furniture’’. It was designed and planned in detail by 
the Assistant Director, Mr T. J. Bayliss, whose imaginative plan 
incorporates in modified form some of the original pier cases, 
together with central and cross platforms allowing for the exhibition 
in the open of our rich collection of 17th to 19th century items; the 
displays under glass include an extensive historical series of clocks 
from the Mackelvie and George Bolt collections — and a period 
costume set. New lighting was installed throughout, while for the first 
time in our display halls we are experimenting with carpet as a floor 
covering. Our thanks have been tendered to Mr Disney in previous 
Reports for so generously endowing our Applied Arts section and are 
again gladly recorded; we would like to add that — as will be seen 
from Mr Bayliss’ report — the Disney Art Trust which was established 
by Mr Disney in 1967 to provide for purchases for the Applied Arts 
collections, has continued to add objects of much importance to all 
sections of the displays in this Department. 

The furniture collections shown were begun and largely built up 
through the personal efforts of Sir Gilbert Archey during his 
Directorship. All present had much pleasure in welcoming Sir Gilbert 
and Lady Archey on the occasion of the opening function on the 
evening of 20th December, 1972, when the Official Opening was 
performed by Sir Gilbert. 

Special Events 

A considerable section of our staff were involved this year in 
the preliminary arrangements for the reception of the major travelling 
exhibition "Portrait of Mexico’’, and later worked on installation in 
co-operation with the Exhibition's own staff. This, perhaps the largest 
single Special Exhibition to be housed in the Museum, was circulated 
in New Zealand by the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council of New 
Zealand and the Government of Mexico. In view of the extent of 
the Exhibition, it was staged jointly for the Auckland season with the 
Auckland City Art Gallery, which showed contemporary painting 
and sculpture, our own considerably larger section comprising pre- 
Columbian sculpture and Mexican folk art. To provide sufficient floor 
space it was necessary for us to use the Maori Hall West (where the 
permanent collections were temporarily screened) as well as the Special 
Exhibition Hall. The Exhibition was opened on 11th December, 1972,

1972 to 1973 


by His Worship the Mayor of Auckland, Sir Dove-Myer Robinson; 
over the period of showing, 11th December - 22nd January, it was 
attended by a total of 35,928 visitors. We take this opportunity of 
expressing appreciation to a former member of our Council, Mr J. G. 
Male, whose interest and efforts in personally approaching the 
Mexican Government in 1969 ensured the inclusion of New Zealand 
in the Exhibition's world circuit. 

On Sunday, 4th March, 1973, we received at a laying up 
ceremony held in the World War II Hall of Memory the Regimental 
Colours of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Auckland (Countess of Ranfurly's 
Own) Regiment, and 1st Battalion, 15th Northland Regiment; these 
two Regiments had been re-grouped as the 3rd Battalion, Royal New 
Zealand Infantry Regiment, the latter Regiment having received its 
new Colours on 26th February. The Colours — each set comprising 
Queen's Colour and Regimental Colour — are now on permanent 
display at the west end of the Hall of Memory; subsequently the 
3rd Battalion presented the bass drum of the 3rd Auckland Regiment, 
and this also is on exhibition. 

A further important event this year has been the joint Exhibition 
of paintings by Australian and New Zealand War Artists arranged by 
the Kelliher Art Trust. The Exhibition was opened on 16th April, 
1973, by His Excellency the Governor-General, Sir Denis Blundell, 
g.c.m.g., k.b.e. Sir William Dargie (Chairman, Commonwealth Art 
Advisory Council) and Mr H. B. Gullett (Vice-President, Australian 
War Memorial) travelled to Auckland to attend the Official Opening. 
The Exhibition remained open until 6th May, attracting large 
attendances throughout the period. Wc were greatly indebted to the 
Trust, and to Sir Henry Kelliher and the Trust’s Chairman, Mr W. D. 
Williams, for the opportunity to show this, probably the most com¬ 
prehensive collection of World War I and World War II paintings ever 
assembled in New Zealand. The greater proportion of the collection 
was lent at the request of the Kelliher Art Trust by the Australian 
War Memorial, in Canberra, and we gladly join the Trust in expressing 
appreciation to the Board of Trustees and Director of the War 
Memorial for so willingly co-operating in the project; the selection 
of paintings by official New Zealand war artists came from the 
collection held by this Museum on behalf of the Government. The 
design for the Exhibition was prepared jointly by the Director of the 
Australian War Memorial, Mr W. R. Lancaster, and by our Assistant 
Director, Mr Bayliss. 

1,000,000th Visitor 

It has been a matter of some pride to refer in successive Reports 
for some years past to our remarkable expansion in annual attendance: 
the figures have risen from 300,020 in 1965-66 to last year's 734,808. 
During the current year (1st April, 1972- 31st March, 1973) we 
recorded our millionth visitor, the total up to 31st March, 1973, being

1,034,818. In addition, the figures included the highest attendance 
yet recorded for any single day — a total of 16,899 on 5th June, 1972 
(Queen's Birthday). 

Our millionth visitor, recorded on 18th March, proved to be 
Mr A. Summers, of South Stratfield, New South Wales, who was 
visiting Auckland with a tour party. By resolution of Council, Mr 
Summers was made a Life Member, and received a presentation set 
of Museum publications. 


Awards 

Four of our members this year received honours from Her Majesty 
the Queen: The Rt. Hon. Sir Alexander Turner, the award of k.b.e.; 
Sir Robert Falla, c.m.g., the award of k.b.e.; Professor D. G. Bonham, 
the award of o.b.e.; and Mr O. A. Cheesman, the award of m.b.e. 
All will wish to join in extending congratulations to our fellow 
members on these awards. 

The election of Mr A. U. Wells, c.b.e., to Honorary Life Mem¬ 
bership at our last Annual General Meeting indicated the deep 
appreciation felt by all members of Mr Wells' long period of interest

in our work, and his assistance as Chairman of the Sir John Logan 
Campbell Trust since the completion of the World War II building. 
The Trust began its contribution to the Museum with the provision 
in 1963 of Library furnishings; since then it has contributed 
generously, almost annually, towards developments in the display 
galleries. Its latest gift was a substantial contribution towards the 
capital cost of the Hall of New Zealand Birds. 

Of this year's new Royal Society of New Zealand Fellows, two 
were nominees of our Fellowship Committee, Professor R. E. Corbett 
and Professor D. Hall, and to both of these we extend cordial 
congratulations on their award. We have much pleasure also in 
congratulating one of our members, Dr E. G. Bollard, who this year 
received the highest annual award of the Royal Society of New 
Zealand, the Hector Medal and Prize; Dr Bollard received his award 
for his contributions to knowledge in the field of plant nutrition. 


Council 


Three members. Dr J. D. Atkinson, Professor E. J. Searle and 
Mr R. B. Sibson, were returned unopposed at the last Annual General 
Meeting, and Council had pleasure in welcoming these members for 
a further term. 

Owing to the death on 1st May, 1972, of Mr W. M. Tongue, a 
member appointed by the Auckland City Council, a new appointment 
was required. The Auckland City Council accordingly nominated 
Mr H. D. B. Dansey, and Mr Dansey was welcomed on taking his 
seat at the June meeting. 

Members much regretted the loss from our Council of Mr 
M. N. Kearney, the representative of Northland Contributing 
Authorities, whose resignation was received in October. Mr N. S. 
Campbell (Rodney County Council) was elected in place of Mr 
Kearney, and took his seat in December. 

I take this opportunity of expressing my congratulations to Mr 
G. W. Frater, who was elected by Council as President at the meeting 
in March. Mr Frater, who will take office at the Annual General 
Meeting on 25th June, has been a member of our Council since 1963, 
and Finance Committee Chairman since 1964. I have pleasure in 
joining all members in wishing him an interesting and successful 
term in the Presidency. 


Staff 


In view of the increasing scope of activities in the Museum 
halls, including both up-grading and modification of existing displays, 
and new installations, it was decided this year to form a separate 
Department of Display, comprising all staff members responsible for 
the actual work of preparation and installation. The Assistant Director, 
Mr Bayliss, was appointed to take charge of the Department, with 
the additional title of Curator of Display.

1972 to 1973 


The Planetarium Lecturer, Mr R. A. McIntosh, f.r.a.s., 
f.r.a.s.n.z., tendered his resignation in September, after 13 years in 
this post. Mr McIntosh was appointed Lecturer immediately after the 
gift of the Planetarium by the Farmers Trading Company in 1959, 
and through his sound astronomical background and popular approach 
was able to develop the installation to its present position as a 
recognised Museum facility, much appreciated both by the public and 
by school classes. All members will wish to join in conveying best 
wishes to Mr McIntosh on his retirement. 

Mr R. C. H. Hensen retired from the post of Supervisor in 
January, after 19 years of service in the posts of Maintenance Officer 
and, more recently, Supervisor; Mr Hensen's long period of service 
and the close attention he has always devoted to the maintenance of 
the Museum building and properties were much appreciated by both 
Council and Trust Board. Mr H. J. Rowe has been appointed to the 
post of Maintenance Officer. 

Mr D. A. Corbett, A.F.R.Ae.s., a well-known authority on New 
Zealand Regimental badges and on military insignia, was appointed 
in March to the post of Honorary Curator of Medals and Badges. 
Members will wish to join in expressing thanks to Mr Corbett for 
kindly offering to assist us in this important section of the Museum's 
work.

Obituary 

The death of the following is recorded with regret: 

Sir John Allum, c.b.e., Mr C. E. Clarke, Mr A. J. Dickson, 
o.b.e., e.d., Mr E. H. Driver, Mr H. H. Edwards, Mrs G. L. Ferguson, 
Mr C. R. Ford, f.r.i.b.a., f.r.g.s., Mr R. McK. Geddes, Captain 
F. A. Hull, r.n. (Retd.), Mr H. R. Kennedy, Mr T. G. Kissling,

A. C. McArthur, Mr R. McKenzie, Mr P. Seabrook, Mr C. S. Tewsley, 
Mr R. H. Ward. 

Sir John Allum, who died on 16th September, 1972, had during 
his Mayoralty (1941-1953) sat as a member of our Council, and had 
closely associated himself throughout with the Museum’s work. From 
1946 onwards he contributed greatly to the building of the Second 
World War extensions, placing a plan for such extensions before a 
9

r 




AIM Ann Report 
1972 to 1973 


public meeting in October, 1946; the plan to extend the existing War 
Memorial was finally adopted on 15th July, 1947. He remained 
Chairman of the Auckland War Memorial Committee until the 
opening of the Provincial War Memorial extensions on 19th March, 
1960. Sir John was elected an Honorary Life Member in 1960. He 
again lent his support to the development of the Museum in 1966-69 
as a Sponsor of the Auditorium Appeal. 

With the death on 19th May, 1972, of Mr C. Reginald Ford, at 
the age of 92, we lost a long-standing and distinguished member, and 
former President. Mr Ford joined the Institute in 1923; he became a 
Council member in 1926, served continuously until 1959, and held 
the Presidency 1938-39 — indeed a remarkable record of devoted 
service. His career began in the Royal Navy, and in 1901 he was 
selected for the ship's company of Scott’s first Antarctic Expedition, 
during which his duties included that of Captain Scott's secretary; on 
his death he was the last surviving member of the Expedition. On his 
return from the Antarctic he made a lecture tour of Canada, and had 
meant to settle there; however, he finally decided to come to New 
Zealand, which he had first visited with the Expedition. Here his 
natural ability at drawing led him to take up architecture, and he 
practised in Wanganui and, finally, in Auckland. In 1923 he went into 
partnership with the late W. H. Gummer; during the following 38 
years the partners designed a number of notable buildings throughout 
New Zealand, including the National War Memorial Carillon Tower, 
the Dominion Museum and National Art Gallery, Wellington, and 
the Auckland Railway Station. Many members will recall Mr Ford's 
skill as a lecturer, especially in his fascinating talks on Antarctic 
exploration. During his term on the Council he associated himself 
closely with the work of the Museum, and contributed generously 
to the collections; he had a connoisseur's knowledge of the arts, 
especially of antique furniture and rare china, and as Honorary 
Curator of English China greatly assisted in the development of the 
Museum's collections. He served from 1927 to 1929 as Honorary 
Secretary of the Citizens' War Memorial Committee, responsible 
for the planninag and erection of the World War I building. 


Gifts 


We have pleasure in again expressing our thanks to the Trustees 
of the Auckland Savings Bank for a gift of $2,500 towards the cost 
of installing the Hall of New Zealand Birds, the third contribution 
made by the Trustees for this project; the present gift brings the total 
contribution by the Savings Bank towards the new Hall to $7,000. 
The Sir John Logan Campbell Trust added again this year to its long 
list of generous contributions by making a grant for improvements 
to the Special Exhibition Hall of $4,000. 

A bequest of $2,000 under the will of the late Miss Edith McLeod 
has this year provided a much appreciated addition to our funds. We

are grateful to the Kelliher Art Trust for a donation of $500 towards

of the Museum's past Director and Director Emeritus, Sir Gilbert 
Archey. The Lecture, on a scientific topic, is to be given each year 
to representative senior students from Auckland post-primary schools. 
The establishment of the Lecture has met with an enthusiastic response 
and we are pleased to report that the Auditorium was filled to capacity 
for both lectures to date in 1971 and 1972. Dr C. A. Fleming, o.b.e., 
f.r.s., f.r.s.n.z., was invited to deliver the first Archey Lecture on 
23rd June, 1971; Dr Fleming’s subject was “A New Zealand Naturalist 
and His Environment”. In the year under review an invitation was 
extended to Professor A. W. Liley, c.m.g., f.r.s.n.z., who lectured on 
4th July, 1972, on "A Day in the Life of the Foetus". 

R.S.N.Z. Captain James Cook Fellowship 

Dr Roger C. Green terminated his Fellowship in February after 
three years spent on his study of the pre-history of the South-east 
Solomons, involving both extensive field work and periods at the 
Museum for study and analysis of results. We have greatly appre¬ 
ciated the opportunity to be associated as sponsoring body with 
Dr Green's project, which has afforded many opportunities for 
co-operation between Dr Green and members of our own staff. 

Loder Cup 

Council learned with pleasure in August that the Loder Cup 
Award for 1972 had been made to one of our members, Mr A. D. 
Mead; Mr Mead’s nomination had been made jointly by the Auckland 
District Council of the Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture, 
and the Institute and Museum. The Cup was presented to Mr Mead 
by the Honourable C. J. Moyle, Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, 
in the Auditorium on 3rd February, 1973, the function being arranged 
in co-operation with the Institute of Horticulture District Council. 
Mr Mead, who was formerly Auckland City Waterworks Engineer, 
is well known for his leading part in the preservation of two of the 
larger areas of native forest in the Auckland district, the Waitakere 
and Hunua watersheds, and all will wish to join in congratulating 
him on his well-deserved award. 

Conservation 

Continuous action on a number of issues through Council’s 
Conservation Committee has marked the year’s work, these including 
a recommendation to the Auckland City Council that the Glen Innes 
Domain be set aside as a permanent reserve for wildlife, and the 
preparation of submissions for the Parliamentary Local Bills Com¬ 
mittee supporting the petition for the repeal of the Auckland Harbour 
Board and Devonport Borough Council Ngataringa Bay Empowering 
Act 1970. Recently a report by Miss Davidson on the management 
of Auckland volcanic cones has been approved for transmission to 
the Department of Lands and Survey and to the Local Authorities

responsible for the administration of the cones, while an approach 
has been made to the Government for additional funds to support 
Authorities in this work. 

Miss Davidson has, as in previous years, continued to devote 
much time to advising Local Authorities on archaeological aspects of 
District Schemes. 

Dr Orchard was nominated to represent the Institute and Museum 
on the working party responsible for the preparation of a management 
plan for the Centennial Memorial Park. 

Overseas Tour by Director 

Mr Turbott left on a three-months overseas study tour on 15th 
August, visiting museums and kindred institutions in a number of 
countries, and spending a period in London at the invitation of the 
British Council (see report by Mr Turbott, below). During the tour he 
was able to examine various aspects of museum procedure, especially 
in relation to organisation and exhibition methods, and to obtain 
information which will greatly assist in the work of the Museum. 
Mr Bayliss was appointed Acting Director in Mr Turbott’s absence, 
ably controlling the Museum’s work in all sections. 

I conclude with much pleasure in conveying to Mr Turbott and 
his staff the appreciation members will feel on the high standard of 
the work achieved during the year. 


A. R. HUGHES 


Chairman of the Trust Board 

As we reported last year, negotiations with a prospective tenant 
to occupy a building which the Board proposed to build on one of 
the Vaile Endowment properties had by 31st March, 1972, reached 
an advanced stage. However, the Board regrets to report that at the 
final stage this prospective tenant was unable to proceed with the 
proposal. The Board hopes to find a suitable prospective tenant at 
an early date and in the meantime has had the old buildings demolished 
and the site prepared for a contractor. 

The remaining Vaile properties are in good order. Thanks are 
again due to Mr Hensen, who has supervised repairs and maintenance 
required, and we are happy to report that Mr Hensen will continue 
following his retirement from the Museum staff to carry out this 
work on a part-time basis. 

Re-investment of several of the Board’s holdings in Local 
Authority stocks has been required. The total of invested funds has 
reached $419,578. 

At a Special General Meeting held on 26th June, 1972, Mr R. E. 
Thomas, f.c.a.n.z., was elected by members in place of the late 
Mr A. T. Pycroft, and Mr Thomas is welcomed to the Board.

Director 

Institute Lectures 

A programme of especially wide interest was prepared and our 
thanks are recorded to all participants: Mr T. J. Bayliss, "The Gentle 
Art of Selling Pots: 2000 years of the Ceramic History of China and 
Her Trade with the Eastern and Western Worlds"; Sir Edmund Hillary, 
“Nepal and Indonesia" (Tiwha Bennett Memorial Lecture sponsored 
by Auckland Branch, New Zealand Dental Association); Associate- 
Professor F. H. Sagar, “Underwater Sound Communication"; Mr J. M. 
Stacpoole, “New Zealand Colonial Architecture"; Dr D. M. F. 
McDonald, "Personality Sectors in New Zealand Alcoholism" (Annual 
Medical Association Lecture); the Hon. Duncan MacIntyre, "Problems 
in Urbanisation as they affect the Maori and Pacific Islander” (Roger 
Buddie Memorial Lecture, in association with Anthropology and 
Maori Studies Section); Mr R. K. Davison, "Concern for the Environ¬ 
ment"; Sir Alan Danks, "University Developments". Unfortunately it 
was not possible for the Hon. Duncan MacIntyre to be present to 
deliver his address owing to illness, arrangements being made for 
Mr M. P. K. Puriri to read the address and to answer questions. A 
condensed version of Sir Alan Danks' lecture may be found in 
University of Auckland News (Vol. 2, No. 9: November, 1972). 

On 27th April, 1972, a well-attended lecture — with colour film 
— was given in the Auditorium by U.S. Astronaut John Swigert, who 
was visiting Auckland as United States representative at the Coral Sea 
ceremonies. 

Two lectures were arranged in early 1973. On 26th February 
Miss Wendy Campbell-Purdie (Director of the Bou Saada Trust, 
Algeria) showed a film dealing with her conservation and tree-planting 
project in North Africa; numerous questions from a large audience of 
members and friends were answered by Miss Campbell-Purdie. 

Professor R. V. Jones, C.B., C.B.E., Professor of Natural Philo¬ 
sophy at the University of Aberdeen, lectured on “Science, Technology 
and Civilisation” on 19th March, 1973; Professor Jones was visiting 
Auckland as part of his New Zealand tour as a Commonwealth 
Prestige Fellow. 

Display Halls 

As mentioned in the President’s report above, the wide variety 
of display activities in our halls and the number of staff members in 
various fields involved made it necessary this year to re-organise all 
staff concerned as a separate Department of Display in charge of 
Mr Bayliss. Present projects aimed at revision and general upgrading 
are referred to in Mr Bayliss’ report. It is hoped in the coming year 
to continue this process in various sections, the aim of each project 
being both to effect display improvements and to allow for the 
systematic incorporation of new material.

1972 to 1973 


Work on the Hall of New Zealand Birds is continuing under the 
supervision of the Director; early in the period of this report the 
pied shag diorama was completed and attention is now being given 
to three installations, swamp bird inset, spotted shag nesting group 
and Little Barrier diorama. Mr Cappel, assisted by Mrs Condon, is 
working on each of the installations in turn, the programme being 
phased to allow for adequate drying of backgrounds or ground-work. 
The swamp inset incorporates a technique developed by Mr Cappel, 
who has built in a gauze middle-distance on which he has painted 
the main background scene, the more distant vegetation showing 
through the gauze from the curved back; the technique has the 
advantage of obtaining the desired effect without elaborate modelled 
installations of plant material, yet gives the impression of considerable 
depth. 

The fieldwork essential in diorama installation has been possible 
through two much-appreciated offers of transport. A visit to Shag 
Rock, off Waiheke Island, was arranged in September, 1972, by 
Mr J. Gaunt (of the District Office, Department of Internal Affairs, 
Auckland), who took a party including Mr Cappel to the island in his 
launch. Mr Cappel landed on the same trip on Gannet Rock, where 
notes were made and photographs taken; the latter visit will assist 
when Mr Cappel begins work on the gannetry diorama next year. 

In February, 1973, Mr Leo Tattersfield transported Mr Cappel 
and Dr Orchard in his yacht Westerly to Little Barrier Island, providing 
the opportunity to check on Mr Cappel’s background sketches and to 
obtain a further photographic record. Dr Orchard was able to check 
certain aspects of published botanical accounts, and to finalise with 
Mr Cappel the range of plant material to be included. 

Special Exhibitions and Festival 

The Exhibition Hall was again regularly occupied by special 
exhibitions on a wide variety of topics, the programme culminating 
in “Portrait of Mexico” and the Kelliher Art Trust Exhibition of 
Australian and New Zealand War Paintings as recorded above in the 
President’s report. Members of our staff participating in the installation 
of “Portrait of Mexico” greatly appreciated the opportunity to work 
in co-operation with the Exhibition's Technical Director, Mr Emeterio 
Guadarrama, and his assistants, Mr and Mrs Elias Guadarrama. 

We showed the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council circulating 
exhibition of engraved glass and drawings by the British artist John 
Hutton over the period 20th April - 21st May, 1972. 

The Auckland Science Exhibition in the second term holidays 
again drew entries of high standard from post-primary pupils, and 
attracted almost capacity crowds throughout the exhibition period. 

In addition, we were pleased to welcome a new post-primary 
Exhibition — this, entitled “Mathex 72”, was arranged by the 
Auckland Mathematical Association and was held over two days, 10th

and 11th August. Competitions for 3rd and 4th Form pupils were 
held in the Auditorium on these two evenings. 

From 11th to 19th April, 1973, a travelling exhibition (circulated 
by the Queen Elizabeth 11 Arts Council) of Indonesian batik paintings 
by Bambang Oetoro was shown in the Hall of South Pacific Ethnology; 
Mr Oetoro, who accompanied the Exhibition, gave daily demonstra¬ 
tions throughout to school groups and to Museum visitors. 

Our 1972 Festival contributions were organised by Mr Bayliss, 
and comprised an Opening Evening of "Sound and Movement" — 
with entertainment by national groups — on 11th May, followed by 
guided tours of a selection of the Museum’s halls during the subse¬ 
quent two weeks. The opening event was attended by 10,136; there 
were satisfactory attendances at the guided tours (highest 40, lowest 9). 

Ornithology Department 

The Associate Ornithologist, Mrs S. Reed, has dealt with routine 
matters in this Department throughout the year. She has, in addition, 
greatly improved the housing and arrangement of the collections and 
especially the collection of New Zealand bird skeletons. Mrs Reed is 
adding systematically to the latter, greatly improving the material 
available for both ornithological and archaeological reference.

Overseas Tour 

I visited museums in the following ten countries during my three- 
months' tour (15th August — 19th November): Fiji, Mexico, U.S.A. 
(Honolulu and New York), the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Greece, 
Thailand, Singapore and Australia. Kindred institutions including 
art galleries were also visited where organisation or exhibition methods 
were thought likely to be of special interest, or where Applied Arts 
collections were included — a total of 49 institutions. 

The Directors and members of museum Staffs whom I met were 
most generous in giving me time for guidance and discussion, and the 
opportunity is taken here to record thanks to all who assisted me 
during my tour. My stay of five weeks in Britain under the sponsor¬ 
ship of the British Council enabled me to visit museums and kindred 
institutions in London, Leicester and Oxford; the generous assistance 
given by the Council towards living and travel expenses, and the 
arrangements made for travel and appointments, were very greatly 
appreciated. In New York introductions to institutions visited during 
my six-days stay were kindly arranged by the U.S. State Department. 
Finally, a grant from the Art Galleries and Museums Association of 
New Zealand de Beer Fund provided much appreciated assistance 
towards the cost of the tour. 

Aims and Itinerary 

The tour was planned to include as wide a range of museums 
as possible, and especially newer museums following the current 
trend towards concentration wholly or mainly upon a single field, 
often comprising local archaeology or history, or the local environ¬ 
ment. The outstanding example today of a museum showing rich local 
collections along modern lines, the Mexican National Museum of 
Anthropology, in Mexico City, was included in the tour. 

Two Pacific museums were of special interest in that both have 
collections closely related to our own: the Fiji Museum, in Suva, and 
the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, in Honolulu. 

The Fiji Museum gives precedence in the display halls to the 
arts of the South Pacific. The Bishop Museum centres its newly 


17 


|IIII|MII|IIII|IIII|ni W o|MII|MM| 





AIM Ann Report 
1972 to 1973 


re-organised displays upon the “Hawaiian Hall", an impressive treat¬ 
ment of the history of Hawaii from prehistoric times to the present. 
The Hall consists of three galleries round an open court, each gallery 
showing a separate section; the three sections are entitled respectively 
“The Legacy of the Past” (religious images, musical instruments, 
household objects and featherwork of the Hawaiians); “Conflict and 
Consonance" (the main European influences on Hawaiian life); 
“Living in Harmony” (objects of the peoples from many lands who 
have made Hawaii their home). The Science Centre, a new building 
within the main museum complex, incorporates the Planetarium and 
Observatory, together with highly effective displays on Hawaiian 
volcanoes and earth history. 

The tour continued to Mexico City, where two days were 
allowed for the National Museum of Anthropology. The Museum 
was built to house the rich national collections in archaeology and 
ethnology; spacious galleries round an open central court provide 
adequate display space for both ancient and living cultures. Display is 
at the highest professional level (further comment on certain aspects is 
made below); further, as the main Government institution responsible 
for archaeological and ethnological collections, the Museum under¬ 
takes liaison with the smaller museums — also Governmental — in 
other centres, and an extension service to country districts. 

Visits to the great internationally-known institutions in New York 
were necessarily brief; visits were made to the Metropolitan Museum 
of Art, American Museum of Natural History, and Guggenheim 
Museum; in addition, the opportunity was much appreciated to discuss 
museum techniques with members of the staff of the Museum of the 
City of New York (devoted to collections relating to New York's 
history). 

In London the time was more adequate for visits and discussions, 
and in the case of some institutions for later visits to confirm and 
extend first impressions — observations on certain general aspects 
of curatorship and organisation are given below. Two aspects of the 
institutions visited in London may be referred to briefly: firstly, the 
increasing introduction of modern display techniques — with accom¬ 
panying trend towards a higher degree of selectivity and emphasis 
on visual appeal in the objects shown — by the great national 
museums, including the British Museum (especially by its new sub¬ 
section, the Ethnography Galleries, moved to Burlington Gardens), 
and the Natural History Museum; second, the sheer virtuosity of the 
special exhibition techniques in the two current Exhibitions: "Treasures 
of Tutankhamun” (at the British Museum) and "The Age of Neo- 
Classicism” (Royal Academy of Arts and Victoria and Albert 
Museum). 

The full list of museums visited in London was: Commonwealth 
Institute, British Museum, Horniman Museum, Museum of British 
Transport, Imperial War Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, 


18 


|IIII|IIII|IIII|IIII|ni wo|IIII|MII| 







AIM Ann Report 
1972 to 1973 


British Museum (Natural History), Science Museum, Geological 
Museum, Museums Department of Royal Botanic Gardens (Kew), 
National Maritime Museum (Greenwich), London Museum. Visits to 
other London institutions included: the London Planetarium, Nature 
Conservancy, London Zoo. 

In order to include experience of museum services in Britain 
outside the metropolitan area I chose: (a) the Leicester Museums 
complex — a group of museums in the Leicester city area, including 
an historic house and an archaeological museum; (b) Oxford City and 
County Museum, at Woodstock, which includes an especially highly 
developed Education Service and School Loan Service. In Oxford, 
the University and Pitt Rivers Museums, and the Ashmolean Museum, 
were visited. The visit to Leicester also provided an opportunity for 
discussion with Mr H. R. Singleton, Director of the Department of 
Museum Studies, University of Leicester. 

After Britain, the tour continued to Madrid — followed by a few 
days’ pause for some bird-watching with friends at Algeciras — Rome 
and Athens. Visits to museums and kindred institutions in all three 
cities were necessarily brief; in Rome a main objective was discussion 
at the UNESCO International Centre for the Study of the Preservation 
and Restoration of Cultural Property (Director, Dr P. Philippot). In 
Athens — in addition to the National Archaeological Museum — the 
smaller museums maintained upon ancient sites (Acropolis Museum, 
Agora Museum) were of much interest. 

At the next stop, Bangkok, the National Museum is an institution, 
as in the case of the Mexican National Museum of Anthropology, 
intended mainly to preserve and display great national archaeological 
and historical treasures, and rich in sculpture and applied arts. After 
a few days in Singapore, the tour continued to two Australian centres 

— Perth and Melbourne — before my return home. 

The visit to Perth was most opportune, since the new six-storey 
Western Australian Museum main building was about to be officially 
opened. The display staff — totalling 12 — were working on the 
final stages of the Aborigine Hall, and the opportunity was greatly 
appreciated to discuss plans and techniques used in the Hall — the 
help given by the Director, Dr W. D. L. Ride, and Curator of Display, 
Mr G. C. Shaw, was especially generous since given under such 
pressure! The Fremantle Branch of the Museum (10 miles from 
Perth) — opened in 1970 and devoted mainly to local maritime history 

— was of especial interest both for its high level of modern display 
and background of local exploration to obtain the material housed. 

Visits to three institutions in Melbourne completed the tour: 
the National Museum of Victoria. Science Museum of Victoria and 
National Gallery. At the Science Museum discussions on the operation 
and staffing of the Museum’s H. V. McKay Planetarium were 
especially helpful.

1972 to 1973 


Attendances 

Brief mention may be made of the trend, clearly apparent in the 
case of New Zealand museums, and reported from most overseas 
centres, towards steadily increasing museum attendances. It was of 
much interest to be able to experience high attendance levels at first¬ 
hand. I gained the impression that even in the great tourist centres 
local residents contributed in at least equal part with tourists. An 
outstanding example of high local patronage is that at the Mexican 
National Museum of Anthropology (total for 1971 — approximately 
1,260,000); it is perhaps significant that the main theme of the 
museum is national history and customs. 

While in part the trend to increased attendances clearly reflects 
the ever-growing tourist traffic, other factors doubtless arc increased 
leisure and greater mobility due to modern transport. There has been 
little attempt at any full analysis of the trend towards increased 
museum attendances. 

Organisation of Display Sections 

Museums almost universally accept the need for professional 
standards in display installation. I was interested especially in organisa¬ 
tion to ensure the most effective work in installation, and in the 
flexibility to be expected of display staffs. Two aspects may be 
mentioned: first, the need is now widely recognised for a special 
officer responsible for the planning and carrying out of all display 
programmes — titles for the post vary, those mainly used being 
“Curator of Display", “Museographer" or “Exhibitions Officer”. The 
staff members responsible to such an officer include (according to 
the size of the institution): preparators, display designers, lettering 
artists, model-makers (including craftsmen in Perspex and other 
plastic materials), artists, cabinetmakers and, in some institutions, 
photographers and craftsman printers. A main function of the Curator 
of Display is, of course, to establish and maintain the closest co¬ 
operation with curators (i.e. scientific and other expert staff). 

Secondly, my observations and discussions with administrative 
and display personnel suggested that a basic display staff covering 
certain essential fields can be expected to move freely from department 
to department. However, so far as possible allowance should be made 
for specialisation, especially in larger institutions with specialist 
expert staff. 

Conservation of Museum Objects 

Calls for discussion at two centres concerned especially with 
research and the dissemination of information in relation to conserva¬ 
tion were most helpful: the Rome Centre has been mentioned above, 
while, in London, I visited the British Museum Research Laboratory 
(Director, Dr A. E. A. Werner). I also saw active conservation units in 
operation at the Mexican National Museum of Anthropology; at the 
Victoria and Albert Museum, London: and at the Western Australian 
Museum. 


20 


lllllllllllllllllltlli* W o|IMI|llll| 





AIM Ann Report 
1972 to 1973 


Much recent interest in conservation methods stems from the 
expansion of archaeology, bringing problems in such aspects as the 
treatment of waterlogged wood, woven fabrics, etc. However, interest 
is also strong in improved conservation methods for the ethnographical 
and applied arts material already in museums. 

My discussions suggested that scientific advice to New Zealand 
museum personnel responsible for conservation is now an urgent 
requirement, and that at least one centre should maintain a conserva¬ 
tion chemist or physicist, to whom application for advice could be 
made. Later a full conservation research unit could be built up. 
Audio Aids 

These include portable tape-players with earphones (the best- 
known is the "Soundguide”), press-button or coin-operated tapes with 
earphones, and phased sound installations. I was struck especially by 
the fact that indiscriminate — or even widespread — use of such 
aids has certainly not become the rule. Rather the trend, after an initial 
period of enthusiasm, has been towards the employment of audio aids 
only where there is unquestionably some advantage in appreciation 
or understanding of a particular object or group of objects, or where 
some overall commentary is required. Doubtless, too, the expense 
involved tends to restrict the number of installations. 

Highly effective installations, comprising one or several of the 
above types, were noted at the Mexican National Museum of Anthro¬ 
pology. American Museum of Natural History, British Museum, 
Imperial War Museum (London) and Science Museum (London). 

Sound installations of a more specialised type were of interest 
at the Mexican National Museum of Anthropology, and in the 
Anthropology Department of the American Museum of Natural 
History: these were phased broadcasts of ethnic or folk music which 
could be heard when examining certain displays. The music, when 
used skilfully and not to excess, adds immeasurably to the significance 
of the displays — it is, in fact, a form of “mood music”, the term 
I heard used by the Mexican National Museum of Anthropology 
Museographer, Professor Mario Vasquez. 

Finally, in this section, perhaps the greatest novelty on the whole 
tour was an introductory installation at the Mexican National Museum 
of Anthropology, the Orientation Theatre. The visitor goes into the 
Theatre as an alternative to entering the exhibition halls (entry to 
Museum, 70 cents: additional charge for Orientation Theatre, 12 
cents). The performance — this is the most appropriate term — is 
given hourly, and lasts for 30 minutes. In this time, by means of a 
taped talk, slides, scale models, replicas of large sculptures, dioramas 
and, especially, sound effects, a complete introduction to the story 
of Mexican pre-history and history as displayed in the Museum is 
delivered. Visitors lean against waist-high rails for the performance, 
the total capacity of the Theatre being 90; multi-lingual translations 
are available, the hire of the necessary earphones costing an additional 
30 cents.

Country Services and Branch Museums 

I discussed the operation of local museum and extension schemes 
with the officers responsible in several main centres: all differed 
essentially from any New Zealand scheme in that Government or 
Local Authority funds specifically to provide additional staff and to 
maintain such schemes were in existence, rather than the loose affilia¬ 
tion maintained in New Zealand between museums in large and small 
centres. I saw no exact equivalent of our own Museum’s Extension 
Service display loan scheme, whereby ready-made display panels are 
circulated regularly to country centres, and believe that this is a 
pioneer development in this field. However, numerous schemes exist 
to provide for the circulation of museum material over a wide 
geographical area, ranging from a display bus used by the Mexican 
National Museum of Anthropology (the Museum intends later to 
have a train display unit!), to the well-known National Museum Loan 
Service (comprising numerous travelling exhibitions available for hire) 
maintained by Victoria and Albert Museum. 

The service provided by the Mexican National Museum of 
Anthropology includes close liaison with and assistance to smaller 
outlying museums (all Government supported); the Western Australian 
Museum (State-supported), similarly undertakes liaison with, and 
certain responsibilities for, numerous local museums which are, in 
turn, able to call upon Government funds. Co-operation is established 
•— or is being planned — in Britain by several groups of museums, 
large and small, funds being made available by local organisations 
towards the cost of the assistance required from the central museum. 

At two centres Branch Museums were of much interest: the 
branches are administered as part of the central museum, and have 
been established to provide for the housing of material more appro¬ 
priately shown outside the main museum, or as a service for a 
detached population. The Western Australian Museum's branch at 
Fremantle deals, as mentioned above, with local history — especially 
maritime. The Museum will shortly establish a further branch at 
Geraldton (240 miles north of Perth) and has plans for additional 
branches further afield. Funds, mainly towards building costs, are 
contributed by Local Authorities for the maintenance of these branches. 

At Honolulu I was interested to visit a branch of a somewhat 
different kind operated successfully by the Bishop Museum: this is 
the four-masted ship Falls of Clyde, moored at Pier 5, in Honolulu 
Harbour, and maintained with its own staff as a maritime museum.

The Hon. Duncan MacIntyre was the Buddie Memorial Lecturer 
who prepared a lecture on "Problems of Urbanisation”, which, due 
to Mr MacIntyre’s illness, was delivered by Mr P. Puriri. 

A symposium on Race Relations and the Future of Auckland 
was chaired by Dr R. C. Green, with speakers Mr S. Jackson, Mrs M.

Astronomical Section 
(Auckland Astronomical Society) 


1972, the Golden Jubilee year of the Society, was a fairly eventful 
year and one in which outside events had a marked effect upon the 
Society’s affairs. 

Earlier in the year, three Councillors of the Royal Astronomical 
Society of N.Z., who were the members of the Commission investigat¬ 
ing the reorganisation of Astronomy in this country, visited Auckland. 
Mr Rumsey, Dr Doughty and Mr Bateson each took the opportunity 
to address our Society upon aspects of this reorganisation. Submis¬ 
sions on matters affecting us in Auckland were made by our Council 
and ultimately the Commission's report was presented and discussed 
at the Annual General Meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society of 
N.Z. 

The most important event was the Society’s Jubilee. Celebrations 
to mark this occasion were held in November, and took the form of 
a special series of short addresses by past Presidents on one evening, 
followed the next week by a special Jubilee party at the Observatory. 
We were very pleased to see many of the older members of the Society 
present at these gatherings. The highlight of the latter event was a 
special Jubilee cake, complete with the special Jubilee telescope 
designed and produced by John Heath. 

The Council was very active during the year and devoted con¬ 
siderable time to planning the events mentioned above. We hope that 
one of its lasting contributions will be the setting up of ACORD, 
the Committee which is charged with promoting astronomical observa¬ 
tion and research in Auckland.

Several junior members approached Council during the year 
with proposals regarding junior activities. As a result, a Junior Council 
has been set up to look after the internal organisation and control of 
junior programmes and activities. This body reports to Council through 
a Councillor, and present indications are that it will provide a stimulus 
to the younger members of our Society. 

The Annual Conference of the Royal Astronomical Society of 
N.Z. was held at the University of Auckland on December 1-3 and 
included the Jubilee Dinner of our Society. The event was a notable 
success and was very well attended. Every person present must have 
come away with the feeling that astronomy in New Zealand is 
alive and developing rapidly. 

The observational side of our activities has been further developed 
during the year, and several special observational successes achieved. 
A report on the first five years' operation of the Observatory has been 
prepared and submitted to the National Committee for Astronomy 
in New Zealand. 

Officers of the Section are: President, Mr D. C. Fisher; Vice- 
President, Mr A. R. Messenger; Secretary, Mr S. N. Smith; Treasurer, 
Mrs T. Parrish; Committee, Mesdames F. Williams, K. Barrow, 
Messrs E. V. Sale, H. R. Williams, M. Harrison, A. J. Seath, G. A. 
Jenkins and G. D. Alcott.

Conchology Section 


This Section, with a combined New Zea'and and overseas 
membership of 220, holds monthly meetings in the Malacological 
Department of the Museum. The number of local members has 
increased and the attendances of 45 - 50 are taxing present facilities. 
All age groups are represented and a balance is maintained between 
keen amaturs and those with more detailed scientific knowledge. The 
number of enthusiastic junior members is particularly pleasing. 

The monthly programme has included lectures on molluscan 
fauna, the geology of the North Cape area, marine life in the Poor 
Knights area, as well as films, and displays and talks by members. 

The Section appreciates the facilities made available by Dr 
A. W. B. Powell and Mr W. O. Cemohorsky of the Malacological 
Department and their assistance with identifications and displays from 
the Museum collection. The opportunity to view many rare and 
beautifully illustrated volumes produced by renowned conchologists 
was particularly appreciated. 

A monthly Newsletter keeps members in touch with the Section’s 
activities and provides items of interest. 

Poirieria, the quarterly cyclostyled publication, is well received 
and an increasing number of overseas institutions receive it by 
subscription or in exchange for comparable publications. Several parts 
have been reissued during the year to meet demands. This is a tribute 


24 


|IIII|IIII|IIII|IIII| NI „,|llll|llll|

to the time and skill devoted to its production by the Editors, Mr and 
Mrs N. Gardner. A handsome trophy, incorporating the badge of a 
former President, Mr W. P. Thompson, has been provided. This is to 
be awarded annually for the best article in Poirieria. 

Both local and country members make good use of the Library 
and a number of volumes have been added during the year. A 
microscope is available for loan to members, and Mr N. Gardner has 
assisted with the identification of many minute shells. 

In September the Section was invited to present a display at the 
Boat Show. A representative collection of New Zealand and foreign 
shells, together with tanks of live animals and nudibranchs, created a 
great deal of public interest. Members of the Section gave generously 
of their time to prepare the display and to provide continual super¬ 
vision. This gave them an ideal opportunity to encourage interest in 
our marine fauna and stress the importance of conservation. 

Several local field trips were held during the year, and in 
January members had the pleasure of arranging hospitality and 
collecting trips for a group of American conchologists. 

Weekend trips to the Bay of Islands in September, and to the 
South Manukau Heads area in February, provided opportunities for 
obtaining further knowledge of these interesting areas. The increasing 
number of new species occurring in our Northern region gives all 
members an opportunity for providing useful information on their 
colonisation and distribution. Members also make valuable contribu¬ 
tions by dredging, by observation during diving, and from study of 
species in marine aquaria. 

Officers of the Section were: Patron, Dr A. W. B. Powell; Presi¬ 
dent, Miss J. Coles; Secretary, Mrs D. Hole.

Maritime Section 
(Auckland Maritime Society) 


The past year has been one of quiet but steady progress for 
the Auckland Maritime Society. The policy of encouraging members 
to take a more active part in the Society’s programmes has been 
continued and has resulted in some pleasing contributions. A panel 
of speakers covering some typical vessels of the Ellerman Line included 
Messrs Baker, Densem, Peace, Peek and Smytherman. Captain H. 
Ruegg gave an interesting account of his part in the Deep Cove 
Project, while Mr J. Crawford-Smith gave a light-hearted talk about 
his travels overseas. Mr H. Chaloner, a country member from 
Hamilton, spoke to the Society about shipping on the Waikato River, 
and this address, which possessed wide hitorical interest, was also 
attended by members of the Auckland Institute and the Auckland 
Historical Society. One of the most notable talks of the year was 
given by a guest speaker, Mr D. R. Simmons, ethnologist of the 
Museum. Mr Simmons spoke to a large and appreciative audience

about Polynesian canoes and voyaging. At a film evening Captain 
Dunsford screened the German film about the Pamir again, with a 
commentary based on his personal experiences in the ship. 

Three excursions in the chartered launch Rotoiti were organised 
during the year for members and friends. The first, to Warkworth, 
in September, was timed to coincide with the flowering of the kowhai 
trees along the banks of the Mahurangi River. Interest in the visit was 
shown by Mr W. J. D. Allan, of Warkworth, who supplied the Society 
with a new chart of the river and who, with Mrs Allan, came to the 
wharf to welcome the party to Warkworth. The Society made a small 
donation to Mr Allan towards his task of marking the river channel 
with additional beacons. In December, a visit was made to Brown’s 
Island to examine the remains of old ferries and other hulks beached 
there. The Auckland Harbour Board assisted on this occasion by 
lending their sounding-dinghy for use as a tender to convey the 
party between ship and shore. The Society’s annual summer excursion 
was planned to take the form of a visit to Clevedon by way of the 
Wairoa River. Mr C. Blundell, of Riverhaven Orchards, kindly 
agreed to display his collection of vintage launch engines to the party. 

A considerable number of photographs and other material 
reached the Society, either as donations or on loan for copying, and 
the balance of Mr E. Wharton’s extensive collection of world 
shipping record cards was purchased. 

Membership of the Society stands currently at 177. 

Officers of the Society were: Patron, Captain James Forbes; 
Chairman, Mr W. A. Laxon; Secretary-Treasurer, Mr C. A. Furniss; 
Committee, Messrs N. Baker, D. N. Brigham, N. A. Maffey, F. K. 
Slattery, A. P. Thompson and R. M. Watt.

Assistant Director 

The past year has seen the completion of the Disney Hall of 
English Furniture, with the aid of a generous grant of $7,200 from 
Mr Charles Disney. We were pleased to have him with us at the 
opening by Sir Gilbert Archey, who played such a major part in the 
acquisition of the furniture now on display. The Hall shows also our 
collection of Oriental rugs and carpets, Worcester soft paste porcelain, 
and our clocks, consisting of two main collections: the Mackelvie. 
which has some extremely fine 16th and 17th century clocks, and 
the George Bolt collection. The new hall is much used. 

Within the last month we have received the first part of the 
James Fenton collection of 17th and 18th century English pewter. Mr 
James Fenton was in 1949 President of the English Pewterers Guild, 
and the good fortune of the Museum in having this presented gives 
us (at one step) one of the important pewter collections outside Europe. 

Among the acquisitions for the Disney Art Trust amounting to 
$1,500 for the year, have been a Chinese Blue and White stem cup of 


26

1972 to 1973 


the 16th century, an earthenware green vase of the T’ang Dynasty, 
two Sung Dynasty Ch'un bowls and a collection of early Japanese 
Imari porcelain. The Mackelvie Trust purchased for our collection 
an important T’ang bottle for $1,000 and a Sung ribbed vase for $300. 
The Tang bottle forms a most interesting 6th century link between 
China and Greece by way of India and the Buddhist faith. 

The entire display staff and Mr H. Rowe had a part in the 
construction and display of the Furniture Hall. We are fortunate to 
have Mr Donald McGillivray added to the Display Department as 
Cabinetmaker-Carpenter, and already a half-dozen projects have been 
carried through by him. Mrs Brookes and Miss Bertrand have been 
carrying through a programme of case display renovation. With Mr 
Simmons a new display of Maori treasure boxes and face and body 
tattoo is being mounted, and at the same time the Shell Gallery cases 
are having a facelift under Mr Cernohorsky's scientific direction. 

Mrs Judy Smith has returned from England with the advantages 
of having visited many textile collections. She was responsible for 
the costume display in the Disney Hall, and continues her work on 
the collection of rugs, lace, costume and other textiles. 

The Museum has been fortunate to have the services of Mr W. 
Ross-Lowe in looking after the furniture as a labour of love. Not 
only has he polished all the pieces so that they now are in wonderful 
condition, but he has agreed to look after the cataloguing and all 
other details. His enthusiasm and knowledge are going to be a 
continuing asset to the general public, who, I find, are making good 
use of his willingness to talk about his charges. 

The medal and badge collection has been entrusted to Mr D. A. 
Corbett, author of the definitive book on New Zealand badges, as 
Honorary Curator of Medals and Badges. It is good to have this 
collection under expert care. 

I would also thank Mr Max Golder, who has looked after our 
armoury in an honorary capacity during the year. Mr Golder is a 
busy man, but spares us enough time to keep the arms in good order. 

The Auckland Society of Potters held their usual successful 
exhibition, while the Auckland Handweavers’ Guild continue to work 
the Fowlds’ loom and to exhibit their work in the Museum. 

Mr R. H. Longden’s extensive collection of Eastern Bronzes has 
been on exhibition for most of the year and is now on loan to the 
Govett-Brewster Galleries. The Museum’s collection of Eastern bronzes 
is on loan to the National Gallery of Victoria, where it will be part of 
a travelling exhibition. In return for this loan the collection will be 
expertly catalogued and treated. 

With the completion of the Exhibition Hall with its dropped 
ceilings, flexible lighting and variable areas, it should be possible to 
run many more temporary exhibitions.

Ethnologist 

A period of thirteen days was spent on the East Coast at the 
request of members of the Tai Rawhiti District Council to record 
meeting houses and report on the state of preservation of the carvings. 
Some fifty houses were recorded and photographed and eleven pa sites 
mapped. Meeting houses of the Whanau Apanui area from Opotiki 
to the East Cape were recorded while in the area for speaking 
engagements during the year. 

Lectures and tours have been many during the year. A weekend 
was spent on the Papamoa Hills, Tauranga, taking a guided tour, in 
association with local Maori elders, of the magnificent range of pa 
sites in the area. The ethnologist pointed out the physical features 
while the elders supplied the traditional stories associated with each pa. 
A weekend school under the Centre for Continuing Education was 
taken at Kaitaia on “Polynesian Dispersal”. 

Another weekend was spent at a camp for Waiuku College Sixth 
Formers at Orua Bay, where lectures were given on local Maori 
history and sites. 

A period of four days was spent in Opotiki giving two lectures 
and sorting the collections for the Whakatane District Museum. Other 
lectures were given at Helensville, Warkworth and Paremoremo Prison. 
Lectures at home included a series of ten for the Centre for Con¬ 
tinuing Education taken in the Museum on “Regional Traditions and 
Material Culture in New Zealand", a series of eight at the Chanel 
Institute on “Maori History”, and more than thirty to various groups 
and clubs around town. 

Guided tours were taken to Auckland's prehistoric sites and 
twenty tours given to groups within the Museum. Attendance at marae 
committee meetings, at Maori gatherings or to assist in tribal projects 
at the request of the elders involved, on the average of two weekends 
in each month. 

A paper has been prepared for presentation at the IXth Inter¬ 
national Congress of Archaeological and Ethnological Sciences in 
Chicago at the beginning of September 1973. The Ethnologist has 
been invited to attend this Congress. 

Papers have also been prepared for publication in the Records. 
Editing has been completed on a book by the late J. D. H. Buchanan, 
founder of the Archaeological Site Recording Scheme, on “Maori 
History and Place Names of Hawkes Bay”, to be published shortly 
by A. H. and A. W. Reed Ltd. A paper has been submitted for a 
collection of essays to honour Professor R. Piddington. 

A project which has been occupied many evenings has been the 
revision of "The New Zealand Myth”, M.A. Thesis, University of 
Auckland, for publication by A. H. and A. W. Reed. This has 
involved complete revision, inclusion of new material, and extending 
the original scope of the thesis to a much broader consideration of 
Maori origin and migration traditions.

House carvings from Punguru, Hokianga, arriving at the Museum for 
safe keeping 

New Zealand Herald photo 


The Ethnologist has worked with Mr Bayliss and Mrs Brookes 
in renovating cases in the Maori Court and Pacific Hall. Mr R. 
Widdicombe, a voluntary helper, single-handedly renovated all the 
canoes in the Canoe Hall, then with Mr Bayliss and Mrs Brookes, 
helped to redisplay the Hall; new labels and a more open display plan 
have made the Hall very attractive. Mr Widdicombe has also repaired 
and cleaned up many of the carvings in the Maori Hall and has 
cleaned and repaired many smaller objects, as in the display of canoe 
models arranged by Mrs Brookes, or in preparation for the feather 
box display. 

Very notable accessions during the year have included a carved 
slab found in a swamp near Kaikohe and presented to the Museum by 
Mr Roger Henwood. Conservation work on this piece was undertaken 
by Mr Karl Peters, of the Anthropology Department, University of 
Auckland. A Ngapuhi elder, Mr Ware Heremaia Kuri, now living in

Auckland, later identified the door jamb as one of a pair belonging 
to a storehouse called Te Ipu Hakena, which was carved by his 
ancestor Kohuru Te Whata nine generations ago. Te Whata was 
commissioned by Rawheo of Maungatapere village to carve a store¬ 
house; when it was finished Te Whata demanded as payment the 
daughter of Rawheo; she was given to him, but he then paid his 
workers by sharing his wife. As a result the house was taken down 
and hidden in the locality. Mr Kuri was able to identify the area the 
carving was found fairly exactly. Apart from its history, the carving 
is of great importance as it provides the first substantial piece of 
prehistoric carving from the area and helps to identify another variant 
of the wide ranging Northland style of carving. 

An important deposit collection from Mr and Mrs D. Earle, of 
Katikati, consists of three pieces, two fragments of a bowl and a 
godstick head. The bowl was found in two pieces ten years apart. Its 
importance lies in its design, a distinct and clear bird head at one end 
and a flattened rim with geometric design similar to designs used in 
recent times in the Cook Islands. Associated with the bowl is a 
godstick head which has strong affinities with Cook Islands “Tangaroa” 
heads even though the presence of notching and other features allies 
it with New Zealand. These finds would appear to have the same 
importance in the development of Maori Art as the Kaitaia carving 
or the Uenuku carving in Te Awamutu Museum. 

The Museum has also received for safe keeping from the 
Pewhairangi family of Tokomaru Bay a group of six carvings from 
the dismantled meeting house Mauitikitikiataranga, which stood at 
Hikuwai, near Tokomaru Bay. The carvings are very fine examples 
of the Tokomaru Bay style of the 1880 period. 

A much later complete house is being stored for the Mt Welling¬ 
ton marae. The house, from Punguru, was carved by Eramiha Te 
Kapua, of Ngati Tarawhai, as a War Memorial to the Second World 
War, but was never completed. 

A collection of local workshop material from Bucklands Beach 
has been presented by Mr F. G. Fairfield. 

Pacific collections of note are a fine collection of ethnographic 
material from Kandep, in the New Guinea Highlands, presented by 
L. H. McGrath, a former missionary in the area. A bequest from 
Julian Brook consisted of a very good collection of Pacific ethno¬ 
graphic objects. 

Voluntary helpers in addition to Mr R. Widdicombe, who has 
been mentioned above, have been of very great assistance during the 
year. Miss Joan Caughey has almost completed her two year task of 
updating the index catalogue. Mrs R. Field has assisted in checking 
catalogue entries for the reserve collections. 

Mrs P. Paterson has been indispensible in the Department in 
cataloguing, checking and looking after the collections, and in dealing 
with enquiries in the absence of the Ethnologist.

E. Earle Vaile Archaeologist 

Site surveys constituted the principal fieldwork activity during 
the year. I took a small party, including three graduate students in 
anthropology and Miss Susan Pullon, Young Conservationist of the 
Year, to Cuvier Island for ten days in December, and spent two 
weeks in the Far North in February, extending the archaeological 
survey there to include land between Te Paki Station and North 
Cape. Also during the summer I began a new and more detailed site 
survey on Motutapu Island, while small projects involving restricted 
excavations were carried out by Miss Leahy, Mr Law and Dr Green. 
These investigations all form part of the continuing programme of 
research on Motutapu. Emergency rescue operations were conducted 
during Labour Weekend on one of the most important midden sites 
on Motutapu, which was found to be seriously eroding. 

A number of shorter field trips were also made. Several were 
undertaken in conjunction wiath the Lands and Survey Department, 
and included visits to the Poor Knights Islands, and to Pukekaroro 
Scenic Reserve and Tokatoka Domain, both in Northland. 

A small excavation was held at Mt Wellington in August, 
concluding the project begun there the previous year. Processing of 
material from earlier excavations at Mt Wellington and Motutapu 
was continued during the year, with assistance from a secondary 
school student, Mark Dashper, during the August vacation. Analysis 
of results from excavations is always a time-consuming process. 
Sufficient progress had been made, however, to begin a synthesis of 
results from Motutapu, which was published in the Records. Two 
other papers in the Records described aspects of fieldwork on Motu¬ 
tapu undertaken under my overall direction, while other archaeo¬ 
logical reports reflected the extent to which the Museum has been 
able to sponsor archaeological fieldwork in the Province. 

Work has also continued during the year on “Archaeology in 
Western Samoa, vol. 2”, now nearing completion. A recent accidental 
discovery of potsherds at Mulifanua in Western Samoa provided 
important new data on the early settlement of Samoa. The Government 
of Western Samoa has asked the Museum to accept the material on 
deposit until Western Samoa has its own Museum. 

I was invited to Dunedin to lecture to anthropology students at 
Otago University and to the Otago Anthropological Society. This 
provided me with a most useful opportunity to visit the Otago Museum, 
and the University, and familiarise myself with research being carried 
out by people in Dunedin. On my way to Dunedin I visited sites at 
Kaikoura and in Canterbury, and spent a brief period at the Canter¬ 
bury Museum. 

During the year I completed my sixth term as secretary of the 
New Zealand Archaeological Association and was elected President. 
I was also elected to the Board of Directors of the Auckland Civic

Trust and re-elected to the Council of the Polynesian Society. Some 
time was devoted to editing four papers which are to be published 
as a Memoir of the Polynesian Society. I have continued to serve as a 
member of the New Zealand Historic Places Trust, and undertook 
several field trips for the Trust. During the year the Trust's Archae¬ 
ology Committee met in Auckland to enable members from other 
parts of the country to visit sites such as Mt Wellington, with which 
the Trust has been involved. While the Trust’s archaeological work 
has remained my principal concern, I have also served on several 
other Trust committees, including the Northland Buildings Committee 
and the Alberton Management Committee. I have continued to 
represent the Museum on the Ewelme Management Committee. 

Much time continues to be devoted to the conservation of 
archaeological sites, and the management of sites which are already 
under some form of protection. Principal avenues for the preservation 
of sites continue to be the use of the Town and Country Planning 
Act, and co-operation with the Department of Lands and Survey 
and with Local Authorities administering sites as reserves. My 
experience of the working of the Town and Country Planning Act 
was extended when 1 appeared as a witness for the Manukau City 
Council at an Appeal in which they were concerned. An important 
step in the management of archaeological sites as reserves was the 
agreement of the Takapuna City Council to erect signs providing 
archaeological information at Rahopara Pa at Castor Bay; it is felt 
that similar signs would be of great benefit on other sites in the 
Auckland area.

The “Street” continues to be praised again and again by visitors 
from many different countries and backgrounds, including Europe, 
the U.S.A., Australia, Japan and Webster’s Island! Mr and Mrs E. J. 
Millett, the owners and restorers of Montrose Cottage, Ballarat, were 
particularly enthusiastic, as was Miss D. A. Whyte, of the Dun¬ 
fermline Costume Gallery; Miss Whyte is an authority on shawls and 
very kindly examined our small collection and offered rather more 
detailed information than we already had. One of the shawls is 
possibly an example of a fairly early experiment in the incorporating 
of gold thread into traditional patterns by Edward Blakely of 
Norwich about the year 1850, and as such is of unusual interest. 

The Selwyn College History Club used “Centennial Street” for a 
short film sequence with the members in costume. 

Apart from the routine of the Department, mainly care of the 
displays and arrangement of loan material for outside exhibitions, 
it has been interesting to help, when possible, with our own Special 
Exhibitions.

Accessions of special interest include a boot scraper which 
probably belonged to the Albert Barracks, presented by Mr I D. 
Bodle; and a Gladstone bag, the property of Joseph Newman, first 
Chairman of the Auckland Sharebrokers Association, from Mr J. R.

AUDREY McBIRNEY 


Botanist 

A major effort has been made this year to increase and diversify 
our exchange programme with other herbaria, and regular exchange 
now takes place with thirteen other institutions, including the State 
Herbarium of South Australia, Missouri Botanic Garden and Louisiana 
Technical University, who received and sent material for the first 
time this year. We now receive duplicates from Europe, North and 
South America and Australia. 

Routine collections, added to overseas specimens received in 
exchange, have boosted our holdings by 2,185 during the year. While 
this increase is most desirable if we are to continue to improve the 
usefulness of the herbarium as a research and reference collection, 
it accentuates the problem of overcrowding that has existed for 
several years. Installation of “Compactus'’ type shelving would greatly 
improve access to the collections, and provide room for expansion. It 
is hoped that finance can be obtained soon to make at least a start 
on the reshelving. 

My major research activity this year has been the continuation 
of work on Haloragaceae, for which over 2,500 specimens have been 
received on loan. A paper on introduced Acaena species has been 
prepared for the next issue of the Records, and work is well advanced 
on an account of adventive and cultivated Zingiberaceae in New 
Zealand. Miss Goulding has begun a survey of the identification and 
location of trees in Auckland Domain, and has had a paper published 
on cultivated privets. Mrs Hynes has again been heavily engaged in 
mounting and incorporation of new accessions, and it is largely through 
her efforts that our backlog has been almost completely cleared. 
Several loans have been sent to other herbaria in New Zealand, 
Australia, England and Germany. 

During the year I have represented the Museum on the working 
party preparing a management plan for Centennial Memorial Park, 
and on the Scientific Advisory Committee for the Regional Botanic 
Garden being constructed at Manurewa. 

Overseas visitors to the herbarium were Dr Y. Saito, from 
Hokkaido University, Mr G. Kraft, Adelaide University, and Dr 
P. W. Michael, Sydney University. In addition, a number of the staff 
from Botany Division, DSIR, and staff and research students of the 
Botany Department, Auckland University, visited the department to 
study our collections. Mr E. B. Bangerter, recently retired from the

British Museum (Natural History) and now resident in Auckland, has 
been a welcome and regular visitor to the herbarium since November. 
He is particularly interested in the naturalised plants of Auckland, 
and has made several interesting additions to our records. 

Other activities during the year included a lecture to the Royal 
Forest and Bird Protection Society, the setting up of three temporary 
displays in the Botany Hall, assistance with botanical aspects of the 
Little Barrier Island diorama being installed in the Bird Hall, the 
undertaking of collecting trips (principally to the Bay of Islands and 
the volcanic plateau) for the purpose of filling gaps in our own 
collections, and providing material for exchange, and the planning 
of a central Museum photographic room, with provision for simple 
studio photography and basic darkroom facilities. 


A. E. ORCHARD 


Entomologist 

Throughout the year Mrs J. Gurr and Mrs A. McBirney have 
assisted part-time and have attended to collections, records and 
general work of the Department. 

Two new cabinets have been used to re-house our New Zealand 
fly collection and other sections of the New Zealand collections have 
been re-arranged. New storage boxes are being used to house much 
of the new material mounted during the year. The purchase of some 
of these new facilities has been made possible by a gift of $200 from 
Mrs M. Hemingway, which is much appreciated. 

Many loans of specimens from our New Zealand and Cook 
Islands collections have been made to specialists in New Zealand and 
overseas, and several previous loans have been returned with specimens 
identified, thus increasing the importance and usefulness of our 
reference collections. 

Monarch Butterfly tagging has continued with the help of 
selected co-operators in several centres and further information on 
flights is being added to our records. 

Successful field trips for the collection of specimens and plant/ 
soil samples have been made in North Auckland and, recently, to 
Great Barrier Island. Some intertidal beetles, collected by me a few 
years ago, have been recognised by an Australian specialist as a new 
species related to an Australian intertidal species. The collecting 
locality has been revisited several times for further information and 
specimens. 

Progress has been made in sorting and identifying specimens 
taken directly and from plant/soil collections, particularly those from 
Mangonui County in the far north and Cuvier Island. 

Research has continued on Trichoptera and Neuroptera of the 
Kermadec Islands, New Zealand and the subantarctic islands, and 
results published. Collembola from Crozet Islands have been studied 
and this work is continuing in collaboration with the Collembola

specialist of the British Museum (Natural History), London, Mr 
P. N. Lawrence. A list of aquatic insects of New Zealand has been 
brought up-to-date for publication and recorded New Zealand species 
of several insect orders have been listed. 

I attended the 21st Annual Conference of the Entomological 
Society of New Zealand, in Christchurch, and in doing so acted as 
entomological guide to a group of entomologists travelling from 
an international entomological congress in Canberra. 

An editorial committee has been formed to assist in the con¬ 
sideration of scientific papers for publication in the Records and 
bulletins. The members of this committee are Professor Roger C. 
Green (Anthropology), Professor F. J. Newhook (Botany) and 
Associate-Professor Joan Robb (Zoology) 

Volume 10 of the Records was published on 15th December, 
1972. 


K. A. J. WISE 


Malacologist 

The Department provided services to the public through identifi¬ 
cations of molluscs, advice on collecting techniques and other varied 
information pertaining to malacology. Molluscan information and 
assistance with identifications have been extended to collectors in 14 
countries. Information and loan of specimens and photographs were 
supplied to the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, the Academy 
of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, the Australian Museum, Sydney, 
the National Museum of Victoria, Melbourne, the New Zealand 
Geological Survey, Lower Hutt, and the Institute of Geology, Warsaw 
University. 

Further important collections were forwarded to our Department 
for classification. These include “Galathea” and “Mortensen” Indo- 
Pacific material from the University Zoological Museum, Copenhagen, 
Indonesian and West Australian molluscs from the Western Australian 
Museum, Perth. Red Sea molluscs from Tel Aviv University and 
Gulf of Oman molluscs from Dr F. Luther. Molluscan kitchen- 
middens from the Solomon Islands have been identified for Dr R. 
Green and a supplementary report on the molluscs collected by the 
Cook Bicentenary Expedition has been prepared for the Marine 
Biological Association of the United Kingdom. 

Visitors to our Department were Dr B. Morton, Professor of 
Zoology at Hong Kong University, who studied our collections of 
bivalve molluscs. Dr C. A. Fleming, N.Z. Geological Survey, who 
examined New Zealand molluscs, and Mrs T. Bratsher from Holly¬ 
wood, California, who studied Terebridae. Mr M. Marrow, a Univer¬ 
sity student from Melbourne, worked in our Department for six 
weeks in an honorary capacity. Our Department continued to provide 
quarters and facilities for the monthly meetings of the Museum's 
Conchology Section.

Our type-specimen collection received several additions through 
donation of type material by Mr N. Gardner and the National 
Museum, Wellington. Small collections of Manus Island land-snails 
from Mr R. Knight and Solomon Islands marine shells from Mrs 
R. E. Eades (deceased) have also been added to our collections. 

Research during the year dealt with the muricid genus Drupa, and 
the completed manuscript in co-authorship with Dr W. Emerson, 
American Museum of Natural History, New York, has been sent 
for publication in “Indo-Pacific Mollusca”. The first part of a 
monograph of world-wide Mitridae, with 600 pages and 225 photo¬ 
graphic plates, has been completed and sent for publication to 
"Indo-Pacific Mollusca". The second volume of “Marine Shells of 
the Pacific" has been published in August 1972 in Sydney. Current 
research deals with the molluscan Turbinellidae and descriptions of 
new species from south-west Australia. 


W. O. CERNOHORSKY 


Research Associate in Mollusca 

Only one paper, entitled “A Kermadec Islands Conus (Mollusca: 
Gastropoda) found living in Northern New Zealand Waters", was 
published during the year, but a large amount of manuscript, 
concerned with three major projects, was produced and awaits 
publication. One of these, a monograph of the patellid limpets, for 
"Indo-Pacific Mollusca”, was held up until recently, due to delay in 
arrival of the printed colour plates from Japan, but these have now 
been received by the United States publishers, and the work should 
appear during the next few months. 

The main endeavour during the year has been to complete the 
new manual of the New Zealand Mollusca, the text of which, dealing 
with over 2,500 species, is now almost finished. This has been a 
lengthy process since much original research is involved with groups 
long overdue for revision. Finality should be reached shortly with 
the completion of the plates, which involves the production of hundreds 
of drawings and photographs. To date over 600 species have been 
illustrated. 

Other projects worked upon during the year are a monograph 
of the Family Turridae for "The Treatise on Invertebrate Palaeont¬ 
ology", and further parts on the Turridae for “Indo-Pacific Mollusca", 
published by the Delaware Museum of Natural History. 

Field trips were made to Parengarenga Harbour, the Bay of 
Islands and a number of other localities up the Northland east 
coast. One result of these excursions was confirmation that three 
tropical Pacific species of molluscs, not previously known from these 
waters, are now firmly established here. 

Identification services were extended to local archaeologists, 
Northland skin-divers, the Wildlife Service, Wellington, the National 
Science Museum, Tokyo, and other overseas scientific institutions.

Also, a comprehensive report upon the present situation regarding the 
fast dwindling Placostylus land snail colonies, with suggestions 
regarding their conservation, was submitted at the request of the 
Commissioner of Crown Lands. 

The Wildlife Service enquiry related to identification of numbers 
of pelagic molluscs from tow-net operations off the Northland east 
coast. The material is providing much needed data for these previously 
rather neglected molluscs. 


A. W. B. POWELL 


Marine Biologist 

In view of the need for bulk material of fishes and crustaceans 
in statistical research in the Department, samples from trawler catches 
have been used this year to enlarge collections. Material taken during 
Marine Department prawn investigations continued to be a primary 
source and material from commercial catches is also available. At 
the invitation of Mr J. Jennings, skipper of the trawler San Susan, I 
joined a six-day trawling trip to north-western coastal waters. This 
gave an opportunity to learn more about trawling operations and to 
make considerable collections. 

Instruction in scuba diving received by me last year will assist in 
field work, and has already provided the basis of a more practical 
approach in contacts with diving clubs. 

Speciation of the Australasian trevally Caranx georgianus has 
continued to be a main interest for research, and results are being 
prepared for publication. Data on the New Zealand kingfish is being 
compiled as a preliminary to a similar type of systematic study. An 
investigation of isopod (sea lice) fish parasites is proving interesting and 
further specimens are needed for examination and comparison. 

As part of a current programme offered by the School Service, 
instruction and guidance in the use of Museum marine displays as a 
part of field study have been given to groups of teachers and pupils 
and in particular to specialised classes in the Museum. 

More than the usual number of higher marine vertebrates such 
as sea snakes, leathery turtles, fur seals and a beaked whale, have 
been added to collections this year, mostly from strandings. 

Maritime material formerly held in the Colonial Section was 
transferred and re-catalogued; conservation measures were taken when 
necessary to ensure preservation of metal and wood objects. Renova¬ 
tions to the X class yacht Iron Duke were skilfully carried out by 
members of the Hislorical Boat Society of New Zealand. Plans have 
been prepared for the realignment of some larger ship models in the 
Maritime Hall to give better use of space and to improve the appear¬ 
ance of the hall.

Librarian 

There has been a steady rather than spectacular increase in the 
use made of the Library and this is reflected in the total of 7,648 
Library users, 476 more than last year. 

During the year there have been some changes of emphasis in 
Library service. I have attempted to cater more fully to the research 
needs of the Museum staff and considerable effort has been made to 
acquaint staff members with publications in their respective fields. 
Regular accession lists are now issued to all scientific staff. Another 
significant trend has been the growth in holdings of Maori manuscript 
material, particularly whakapapa (genealogies). In many cases Mr 
Simmons has arranged the loan of these items for photocopying and, 
owing to their confidential nature, they have then been placed under 
conditions of restricted access. 

A total of 1,474 books were fully catalogued, an increase of 514 
over the previous year. This figure has been aided to some extent by 
the duplication of catalogue cards by the Xerox photocopying machine. 
In view of the drastic rise in book prices, however, it is doubtful if 
this rate of acquisition can be maintained. 

Many interesting items were received by donation, including: 
Papers of the late C. Reginald Ford, presented by Mrs C. R. Ford; 
copies of the New Zealand Freeman’s Journal, donated by Mrs M. G. 
Kidd: a collection of nineteenth century children’s books, presented 
by Misses N. and E. Price; Papers relating to Hon. T. B. Gillies were 
donated by Miss Mary Gillies; Dr C. A. Fleming presented his set of 
the Birds of Australia, by G. M. Mathews. 

Among significant purchases was a set of Prodromus by A. P. de 
Candolle, 1824-1873, and a watercolour of an unidentified Maori 
chief by J. J. Merrett. 

It is pleasing to note the consistent use made of the Library by 
advanced students, 572 using the New Zealand Room for study 

purposes. There has been a large increase in issues from the Special 
Issue collection of University text material and this service is proving 
popular with staff and other Library users. 

The total number of books borrowed by members was 5,878, and 
2,558 of these were issued from the New Zealand Room. It is antici¬ 
pated that the new issue period of one month will make more books 

available to members. 

The lack of a Photograph Librarian has again resulted in a 
falling off in the number of enquiries handled and it has been 

impossible to catalogue all new material. However, several important 
collections have been received, notably photographs by Henry Winkcl- 
man, presented by Mr E. O. Fox, and Waitakere area photographs 
which were donated by Mr J. T. Diamond. 

Conservation work has been continued and Mr W. H. Ross-Lowe 
has completed the treatment of leather bindings in the Reserve 
Collections. Mrs R. Cooper, of the Auckland City Art Gallery, is at

present engaged in restoration work on the G. F. Von Tempsky 
watercolours and has also advised on conservation methods. 

Some new Library furniture has been installed, notably new 
book-return units and two new catalogue cabinets. 

The staff level has remained constant during the year, although 
it has been a struggle to provide other than essential services. I would 
like to congratulate Mrs Arthur, who has now become an Associate 
of the Australian Library Association after several years’ study. Miss 
Tucker was successful in passing the Preliminary Examination for 
the New Zealand Library Association Certificate and is continuing 
with her course of study. For the second year I have been a com¬ 
mittee member of the Auckland Branch of the New Zealand Library 
Association, and have from October acted as secretary. 

Finally I would like to thank those who have assisted in various 
ways during the year, in particular: Mr S. W. Bond, Rev Dr A. B. 
Catley, Miss E. A. Evans, Mr R. J. George, Mrs J. Mogford, Mr J. M.

Library and Whangaroa College at Kaeo. A short descriptive paragraph 
about each of the sixty-seven displays has now been written, and 
when a display is changed, a copy of the information relating to the 
new display is given to the local newspapers. In many cases these are 
printed and librarians report that the publication brings quite a few 
people into the library specially to see the displays. We can assume 
that the same applies to those displays not in libraries. 

With three exceptions, every town in the Auckland Province with 
a population over 2,500 has at least one of our displays on show. The 
three towns which are without displays do not have space for them 
in their libraries.

New displays produced during the year include a display of Dayak 
cane work, “Baskets from Borneo - ’, prepared by Miss J. Bertrand; a 
display of forms of life found on rocky headlands, “Life on a Rocky 
Shore”, made by Mrs Brookes and Mr Stephenson; a display showing 
our present knowledge of Polynesian migrations, “Polynesian Origins”, 
and a display of model canoes, “Canoes of the Pacific”, both by Mrs 
Brookes and Mr Simmons. Repairs and maintenance of existing 
displays continue to take considerable time. 

This year has been a particularly active one for exhibitions and 
similar functions. These included such diverse topics as a display of 
glass engraving by John Hutton, stamps from the Federal Republic 
of Germany, master classes in weaving held by Mary Barker, a 
Festival open evening of international song and dance attended by 
K over 10,000 people. Weaving Exhibitions from Hamilton, Wellington, 

a, Nelson and Christchurch, an exhibition and competition in secondary 

school mathematics, “Mathex 72”, the secondary school Science 
Teachers’ Science Exhibition, the Auckland Potters’ Exhibition, the 
Auckland Photographic Societies’ annual salon, and our biggest project 
yet — the “Portrait of Mexico” Exhibition, which drew large crowds 
over the holiday period. 

Minor displays taken out to the Province included a collection 
of swords to Thames Primary School for a gala day, a special collection 
of photographs to Te Kuiti Library for the opening of their new 
building, and a collection of bronzes and cloisonne to the Ngatea 
A & P Show to complement the theme, which for this year was 
“Antiques”. 

The collections of photographic exhibitions which I have been 
circulating around libraries have been withdrawn, although they were 
being enthusiastically received. The reason for this is that such an 
exhibition could take five to six years to go around the circuit, and 
this is too long for resource material to be away from the library. It 
is hoped, however, that an alternative scheme which does not involve 
long absence of the material will be introduced in the coming year.

School Service 

Attendances for the year for one-hour lessons: Primary, 37,468; 

, Intermediate, 14,812; Secondary, 6,656. Total, 58,936. 

Student teachers on section: 31. 

( School regularly receiving loan material: Provincial, 396. 

While there has been no significant change in the overall numbers 
of children attending the Museum this year, there is evident a change 
in the distribution through Primary, Intermediate and Post-Primary 
levels. There has been a notable increase in pupils from Intermediate 
and Secondary Schools. As there has been no alteration in emphasis 
of services offered to these groups the change may reflect general 
demographic changes in school population.

Greater liaison with teachers has been sought during the year. 
Fifty-one teachers have visited the Museum for one day to acquaint 
themselves with Museum facilities and the work of the School Service. 
The Education Officer has given talks to two courses at Walters 
House, one to a science course and the other to a group whose theme 
has been the teaching of gifted children. As a result of the second talk, 
four teachers spent three days in the Museum to explore further the 
use of our facilities. 

In the August vacation the Education Officer attended a National 
In Service Training Course for Museum Education Officers at Lopdell 
House. Papers were presented by all New Zealand Museum Officers, 
summarising their present policies and outlining problems associated 
with their work. Papers were also presented by specialists in other 
educational fields dealing with their involvement in the Education 
Services of Museums. The course offered a most valuable opportunity 
to evaluate Museum Teachers' services to schools, to prepare guidelines 
for future developments and for discussion between Education Officers. 

There has been a dramatic decline in the number of student 
teachers on section since the advent of three-year training in Teachers’ 
Colleges, and this has reached a penultimate low this year. With the 
uncertain future of student teacher involvement, efforts will be made 
to stabilise the number of children visiting the Museum. Any increase 
in numbers will, it is felt, diminish the quality of teaching which can 
be offered. The physical limitations of the building must also be 
considered, especially in view of the rapidly increasing numbers of 
general public visiting. As a result of vigorous efforts to curtail the 
number of unbooked visits during the year, these have declined from 
13% in the first term to less than 1% in the third. 

The Provincial loan service has continued in the form initiated 
and carried through by Mr Scobie for over 30 years. The regular 
repetitive loan service of display cases to city schools has been replaced 
by a request service, and this change has been received with such 
enthusiasm that the possibility of replacing the Provincial service with 
one of similar form is being explored. This change has enabled teachers 
to support their ongoing programme with exhibits directly related to it. 

The change in office in 1971 was greatly facilitated by Mr 
Scobie’s assistance for two weeks in February, by the forbearance 
shown and assistance given by my colleagues, and the constant 
encouragement and active interest of the Director, Mr Turbott, and 
the members of his staff. I would like to record my personal thanks 
to these people. 

I wish also to record the thanks of myself and my staff to the 
Principals of North Shore and Auckland Training Colleges for the 
assistance already given and for their continuing efforts to increase 
student involvement.
